He left for home last night taking MS rare
well ride on his annual pass, unleSs the IN
terstate railroad commissioners HaNe o1her
arrangements. Jewel tells how ambNiously
Turtle, of Mandan, fought over the wires in
behalf of Mardan during the recent hpod.
Every report that he sent out said that MAIL
dan was high and dry. while bismarck was SO
far under water that she wouldn't get out IN
time to hold her spring election. This
stirred up the newspaper men IN
Bismarck. and one night they
found out that Tuttle was going
TO send out his usual batch OF
stuff denying that Mandan was flooded. and
reports were sent to the leading newspapers
in the East to the effect that "R. NJ. Futile,
noted liar of Mandan, has telegraphed varlous
papers tonight that Hnndan is high above the
Hood, and that Bismarck is under water
and SO ths battle of words waged as long as
she waters waged. Now that the flood has
subsidized the citizens of both towns are en-
5oying q season of quiet. Reference was
made to Dutch Nike who lives on the bot
tom near Bismarck, and who was rescued by
Il party of boatmen after severe struggle
with the stream and its battering rams OF Ice.
Jewel said Mike and his gang live in their
shacks on those low lands like rats, and while
Ghey know that they are in danger OF losing
their lives every spring they will not get out
until driven by the water. Duing The food
of two years ago Il party of mon went down
TO bring up Dutch Mike and bis friends, and
they were found seated in their shacks. M

several inches deep on the floor. and the men
rested their feet on the rounds of their chairs

Ahe men would drop his cards. wade outside
and wave his lantern in the air as signal Of

Quinn. the fright paragrapher, who will up-
donbtedly be elected secretary Of the new
board OF railroad commissioners, would con-
time his connection with the Tribune, and in
his leisure moments contribute to the pleas
ing columns of that enterprising sheet.

Gilbert A. Pierce, ex-governor of Dakota,
Gas at the Ryan yesterday. He came from
Aberdeen, where he had been on private
business. and was returning home, where he
hopes TO get before the influence of his pass
dies out. He wasn't giving out many Sc
crets. as he is newspaper reporter himself
now, and has use for all that he knows. He
iidn't know that he had been elected presi-
dent of the North Dakota university, and
would not say that he proposed to remove his
family from Bismarck to Grand Forks.
